About me

I am a photographer and retoucher based in London. I mainly shoot fashion, portraits and beauty photography. I have published editorials in magazines based in the UK and abroad. I am a portrait photographer and usually I get commissions for corporate portraits.
I also freelance as a retoucher for photographic studios and brands based in London. All the photos showcased in my website were shot and retouched by me.
I work to high standards and as a photographer, I need a decent budget to create images. I do not shoot in collaboration, unless it is for a editorial to be published in art and/or fashion magazines that showcase the work of artists and photographers.
I rarely shoot e-commerce photography, as the working conditions and day rates are very low.
I can work in retouching for e-com and high end. I have experience directing projects and I have started projects for new clients following new guidelines and briefs created by art directors.
I am always looking for more freelance work. As a photographer I am looking to shoot editorials, lookbooks and advertising campaigns for fashion and beauty.
I also look for high end retouching commissions from photographers and magazines.
